Psalms 89:20

18 For our shield belongs to the Lord,
And our king to the Holy One of Israel.

19 Then You spoke in a vision to Your¹ holy one,
And said: “I have given help to one who is mighty;
I have exalted one ^achosen from the people.

20 ^aI have found My servant David;
With My holy oil I have anointed him,

21 ^aWith whom My hand shall be established;
Also My arm shall strengthen him.

22 The enemy shall not¹ outwit him,
Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

23 I will beat down his foes before his face,
And plague those who hate him.

24 “But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him,
And in My name his horn shall be exalted.

25 Also I will ^aset his hand over the sea,
And his right hand over the rivers.

26 He shall cry to Me, ‘You are ^amy Father,
My God, and ^bthe rock of my salvation.’

27 Also I will make him ^aMy firstborn,
^bThe highest of the kings of the earth.

28 ^aMy mercy I will keep for him forever,
And My covenant shall stand firm with him.

29 His seed also I will make to endure forever,
^aAnd his throne ^bas the days of heaven.

30 “If^a his sons ^bforsake My law
And do not walk in My judgments,
